Disclaimer: First Chapter
Yes, Naruto WILL have an Edolas version of himself. Don't agrue with it, because it will be revealed much later.
Story Start! - Into Chapter into Edolas Arc, so it will be shorter.
"The rain... are you reflecting how I feel?" Naruto said up at the sky, his body covered in bandages from still being injured. Naruto was actually sitting on top of the roof to Fairy Tail at the moment to get away from Wendy and Morgiana trying to look after him. He had woken up three days ago, and he still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he had tried his hardest... and lost. If only he had been trying to kill them instead of get information, then the result could have been different. No, thinking like that was wrong. Those girls were better than him, and he wasn't sure that he would have beaten them even if he had been able to use the Byakko-Mode.
He had even been having nightmares of what would have happened if he was captured, and the people that could die from it. Naruto was already attemmting to bottle up his fears of what would have happened. He already had nightmares of what could have happened if he hadn't escaped from Ultear the first time. Now he had to start suppressing them all over again. These emotions, he didn't want to feel things like fear. He would take all his negative emotions and bottle them up for as long as he could.
He let the rain pour on his body, and the soaked bandages came off to reveal smooth skin again. Wendy truly was a gifted mage to heal the damage to his in the week he had been knocked out cold. He gripped his fist in anger when he remembered that if she hadn't saved his life he would be dead. If he hadn't been rescued then he would have been captured, no, he HAD been captured. The only difference was he was rescued before anything else happened to him. If he had been trying to defend a person from those girls, then whoever he was protecting would have died.
The rain hide the tears that flowed down Naruto's face at the thoughts of his weakness one day getting someboduy he cared about killed. If his resolve to win wasn't strong enough then how would he protect anyone? He hated feeling weak, because it reminded him of when he was younger. How nobody would show him any respect, even worse was that they pretended he didn't even exist. It was the reason he had started pranking, so that people would be forced to look at him. Yeah, it wasn't being looked at in a nice way, but at least they payed attention to him. Then he grew to like being hated, because then it meant that nobody would ignore him.
Now though, he wasn't sure what he was going to do next.
Naruto sighed and wiped the tears from his eyes. Just because he lost badly didn't give him permission to cry about it. Tears were suppose to be reserved for the deaths of loved ones, and farewells. If he cried because he lost a battle, then what kind of person would he be. He had already lost a good portion of his confidence that he needed to get back, and for some reason his Byakko-Mode wasn't working. He had attempted to use it the second his magic became unsealed, but it just wouldn't come. It was proof that his resolve to fight had been weakened.
He had to have the resolve of a tiger to use the Byakko-Mode, any less and he couldn't use his powerful enhancements technique. It wasn't just a magic spell, it was his magic fusing with his resolve and spirit to create a form that greatly enhanced himself. If his resolve grew weaker then he would have extreme trouble using it without hurting himself. At this point using it was completely impossible for him.
He didn't know how to get his resolve back, or if losing the fight was the reason he had lost it to begin with. All he knew was that he had lost it, and until he got it back he would be much weaker. Naruto blinked when he noticed the rain stopping, and looking up into the sky he saw that a hole was being ripped into the clouds. His eyes widened in horror when the buildings, and everything in Magnolia started to get sucked up into the sky. He started to lose his spot on the roof when the Fairy Tail building started to go up as well. Naruto jumped off the Fairy Tail building, and summoning his bracelets he swung his arms and the chains extended to wrap arounf the Fairy Tail building.
"What the fuck is going on!?" Naruto shocked as he grunt from the effort of pulling and entire building back to the ground by pure muscle strength. Naruto winced, before his eyes widened when he saw the roof break and the mages of Fairy Tail started to get drawn into the sky as well. The Fairy Tail building was comletely destroyed by the two forces, before the pieces started to fly up into the sky as well. Naruto felt the ground under him start to fly up as well, so with Requip his golden armor appeared around his body as he was jumping from floating rock to floating rock while the people and building of the city were absorbed into the sky.
"Naruto!" Wendy's voice shouted as she jumped to the rock he was on, before they started jumpng across the rocks together. For some reason they weren't being pulled into the sky, and that was strange to him. Naruto grabbed when and jumped to the creepy grayish white ground bellow them, like the sky had even stolen the color of the ground itself.
"Wendy, what the hell is happening?" Naruto asked in shock when the entire city started to get absorbed. She looked up with a calculating look to her eyes, trying to figure it out herself. With Naruto here and not being pulled away, she was able to calm herself down a little. The city finally stopped being absorbed, and everything was white now. Small bluish white balls of magic started to continue to float around and go up into the sky slowly.
"I don't know, but we have to help the others." Wendy said with a determined look, only for a hand to shoot out of the ground next to them and scare her like crazy. Naruto jumped in fright as well, fearing a zombie invasion, before they both saw a pink haired person pulled himself out of the ground.
"Where is Fairy tail!?" Natsu shouted in shock when he looked around, while Naruto grit his teeth. If only he had been able to yank them back down in time, then at least his guild could have been saved from whatever was in the sky. Naruto felt his hand get grabbed, only to see Wendy with a kind expression on her face like always. She had noticed his frustration with not being able to do something, and wanted to calm him down.
"Something in the sky absorbed the city." Naruto said with narrowed eyes as he looked into the sky. He could see something far up there, something glowing lightly. Blue lightning was shooting between the clouds, showing something strange was happening up there.
"Hey, give out friends back!" Natsu shouted up at the sky, which caused Naruto, Wendy, and the recently arrived Happy to sweat drop at his foolish shouting. While this was going on, Naruto sent his silber weapons back into his pocket dimension to be used later. He kept his armor on though, and then he glared up at the sky.
"I think we should fly up there." Naruto said after a moment when a powerful feeling to go up to the thing that absorbed their friends overwhelmed him. He was sure that they weren't dead, but he couldn't figure out how he knew it.
"Aye!" Happy shouted with Natsu, while Wendy personally trusted Naruto's judgement in these cases. Natsu had a slightly scared look on his face when looking at Naruto, mostly because to him Naruto was like Erza 2.0. A new and improved Erza that happened to be a boy as well.
He didn't want to get ass poked.
Happy flew and grabbed onto Natsu before he started to fly up, while Naruto picked Wendy up by her pits and started to go up as his wings appeared as well. The four flew right next to each other, with Natsu grinning as they went into the sky. If they couldn't find there friends, then at least it would be a whole new world to explore. A world without Fairy Tail was not a world that he would want to live in anyway. If he could be with his friends on the other side, then he wouldn't mind being trapped there if there was no way back.
"So what should we expect?" Happy asked Naruto on their goal target to the sky, with Naruto looking at the blue cat.
"I have no clue, but be prepared for anything." Naruto stated, knowing that they would most likely have to face trouble to get their allies back. As they got closer tot he clouds, Naruto and Natsu shared a look between each other. It was their silent promise to come home with their friends, or not come home at all. They started to pick up speed and glow blue as they all entered the hole in the clouds, with the world seeming to spin around them. Distorting and changing for some reason, and before they knew it they were no longer in the clouds.
"What the hell?!" Natsu was the one that shouted when they saw they were in a whole new location. Naruto and Wendy's eyes widened as well when they saw all the islands FLOATING in the sky. He was even sure that he could see a few dozen rivers floating in the sky and running in random directions.
"Look at those trees!" Wendy said in shock when she saw the PURPLE trees, and giant fruits on them. Not only giant, but also strange looking. They continued flying for awhile, and none of them were able to smell any of their friends scents.
"Where do you think we are?" Happy asked in wonder, getting a familiar feeling from this place. Naruto himself sweat dropped when he felt his magic starting to become impossible to control, or use. He figured that they would have about two more minutes before they all lost their ability to use magic if what he was feeling was right.
"Happy! Hurry and fly to the next island!" Naruto shouted when he realized that they weren'ty above an island at the moment, and while he was sure that surviving wasn't impossible, falling onto an island was a much better choice. Using his magic while he still had it, Naruto summoned forth his Silver Dagger to his side his other silver artifact on his wrists.
"Aye sir!" Happy shouted as they increased their speed towards the next island, and just as the got above the island both Naruto and Happy's wings vanished. Wendy, Natsu, and Happy looked at the ground growing closer in shock. Naruto just rolled his eyes and used his chains without extending them to pull Natsu closer to him. Grabbing Natsu with one arm and Wendy with the other, while Happy held onto his head Naruto held the three close to him as they started to fall towards the ground on the floating island.
His legs could take the impact far better, and his guess proved right as he landed safely with the others in a crouched position. A crater appeared under him, and he winced slightly at the rougher impact before he tossed the three off of him.
"Thanks buddy!" Natsu said as he stood back up, with Wendy nodding in agreement with Happy. They owed Naruto one for saving them like that, and Naruto didn't pay their words any attention as he looked at the ground around them for any signs of human travel. Not seeing any, Naruto grit his teeth before thinking to himself.
They would need to get moving soon and try to find their friends before anything bad happened to them.
Chapter End!
Semi-Spoiler: I am thinking about having two people die in the Arc. One good and one evil
Naruto is bottling his emotions up at the moment, but don't worry. It won't be long before somebody notices and forces these emotions out of him. I am open to suggestions if I should make Edo-Naruto good or evil though. There is a reason that a Edo-Naruto exists. The Byakko-Mode is Naruto's resolve mixed in with his soul and magic. He needs all three to use it, which means that since his resolve is weaker he won't be able to use it.
